Meditation is a tool for rediscovering the body´s own inner intelligence. Practiced for thousands
of years, it´s not about forcing the mind to be quiet; it´s finding the silence that´s already there
and making it a part of your life.
Silence is the birthplace of happiness, creativity and infinite possibilities. From this field of
pure potentiality we get our bursts of inspiration, our most intuitive thoughts, and our deepest
sense of connection to the Universe.
Practicing meditation on a daily basis allows you to weave silence and stillness into your mind and
body to create a life of greater compassion and fulfillment. Meditation is a journey to the center
of our very being; a journey to emotional freedom; and a journey to the reawakening of our
unconditioned self.
We meditate to remember who we really are. We all came to this life with a gift that only we possess
to share with this world. Through the course of life and the activity of the mind we have forgotten
who we are. Meditation allows us to silence the endless chatter of the mind so that we can reconnect
with our true essence, our soul, and bring that knowingness back into everyday life. Benefits of
knowing who you really are and why you are here are:
• Less stress
• More happiness
• Improved health
• Better relationships
Why?
We then do not live life through the illusion of our thoughts, but the knowingness of our Being.
What is Primordial Sound Meditation?
Primordial Sound Meditation is a meditation technique originating in the ancient wisdom of India.
Primordial Sounds: the basic, most essential sounds of natureare used to disconnect us from the
activity of life. These individually selected sounds, known as mantras, are based on the vibration
the universe was making at the moment of your birth.
Once your Primordial Sound mantra has been determined, you will be taught how to use it on a daily
basis to reawaken balance, tranquility and compassion within. Your Chopra Center Certified Instructor
will help you to integrate this practice into your daily routine.
During Meditation our minds become quiet allowing our bodies to gain the deep rest necessary to
release stress and fatigue. In meditation we re-connect with our true essence. This connection
extends into our daily lives resulting in improved health, more fulfilling relationships,
enthusiasm for life and increased creativity. Practicing Meditation on a daily basis can help you to:
• Manage stress
• Reduce anxiety
• Improve your relationships
• Create inner peace
• Awaken your intuition
• Enhance your sleep patterns
• Lower your blood pressure
• Become less judgmental
• Connect to spirit
The only change or adjustment needed in the practice of Primordial Sound Meditation is
setting aside the time to meditate regularly.
Classes are taught by Denise Key, a certified instructor, and held at a location near you.
